What changes

  • Video generation with native audio: ambience, effects, dialogue and lip synchronization.
  • Better quality than Veo 2, understanding of short scenarios written in the prompt, more realistic physics.
  • Launched at I/O for Ultra subscribers in the United States (Gemini app and Flow tool) and for businesses on Vertex AI.
  • On July 17, 2025, opened in paid preview in the Gemini API; Fast version on July 31.
  • On September 8, 2025, moved to general availability with vertical 9:16 output, 1080p and a price reduction.
